I do remember one time I almost absolutely lost it! I was making a Waldorf doll for Sprout (lots of hand sewing, lots of time involved) and he got a hold of it before it as even finished and decided to decorate it with markers. I must&#39;ve turned white, but managed a &quot;wow, I see you were decorating dolly&#39;s face&quot; he was so happy. I have to admit though, we did give dolly a bath afterwards.Sandrahttp://bxlsprout.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818334054422432499.post-42284713325574288982012-02-17T23:37:02.865+02:002012-02-17T23:37:02.865+02:00Yes!

I love hearing and seeing tots being so capable, that twinkle in their eye of &quot;did it myself&quot; is just wonderful.Mudpiemamahttp://mudpiemama.brillweb.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818334054422432499.post-60374176452119721382012-02-17T22:57:12.281+02:002012-02-17T22:57:12.281+02:00When I did Montessori training I was impressed how...When I did Montessori training I was impressed how each activity had an inbuilt consideration of how the child could self correct if they&#39;d spilt something or made a mess. It is an empowering thing to be able to give a child a cloth and let them clean it up themselves. To my shame I have sometimes been so obsessed one of my children will spill something, then they don&#39;t and later in the day I knock it over! Which is a good humble reminder that adults are accident prone too....Motherfunkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10809370449833738968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818334054422432499.post-83821691738855127402012-02-17T16:37:40.761+02:002012-02-17T16:37:40.761+02:00Great article , I am so glad that I have visited y...Great article , I am so glad that I have visited your site.I was looking for this information.Nicole Ghttp://nedcon.ro/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818334054422432499.post-45326183961173944262012-02-17T15:33:31.928+02:002012-02-17T15:33:31.928+02:00So true!

I didn&#39;t freak out, just went and got him a hand towel and asked him to clean it up(most of the water was contained on the end table). He wiped the water up by himself, and seemed to enjoy doing it! It&#39;s amazing how different things can be when you approach things with a &#39;how can we solve this problem&#39; mentality vs. &#39;how can I punish you for being wrong&#39; mentality.Momma on a Missionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08624831831540665331noreply@blogger.com
